F1 Abu Dhabi 2026 packages from the United States
US race fans flying overnight from East Coast hubs (JFK, EWR, IAD, BOS, MIA) or connecting via Europe or the Gulf from the Midwest and West Coast.
If you are planning Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026 from the United States, the useful frame is not “a weekend in the UAE” — it is a six-day stay with a long-haul arrival. Our packages run 02–07 December 2026: five nights, hotel with breakfast, North, Main or West Grandstand tickets, private airport returns into AUH or DXB, and the extras (concerts, Yas Island or TeamLab, Saadiyat and Qasr Al Watan passes).
East Coast departures typically leave in the evening and land in Abu Dhabi or Dubai the following afternoon (Gulf time is UTC+4, so you lose the night in the air and gain it back as a late check-in). West Coast itineraries usually add a European or Doha/Dubai connection. We do not sell flights, but we do meet you with fast-track immigration and a standard-car transfer, which is the part US travelers feel first after 12–15 hours.
Price is shown in USD only: from $2,554 per person, double occupancy, for the Ramada JBR North Grandstand package, up to $5,142 for Park Rotana with West Grandstand. Rates are dynamic and confirmed at booking. NextStep Travel and Tourism is an authorized F1 package seller based in Deira, Dubai — not Formula 1 the company.
Choose Abu Dhabi hotels (InterContinental, Rixos Marina, Park Rotana) if you want a shorter circuit commute. Choose JBR Dubai (Ramada or Sheraton) if you want beach evenings and will accept the Yas Island transfer. Either way the 4-day GP ticket and daily Yas Mall shuttle are in the package.
Flights into AUH or DXB
- Typical East Coast routing: overnight nonstop or one-stop into AUH (Zayed International) or DXB.
- West Coast: usually two segments via Europe, Doha, or a US East Coast hub.
- Gulf time is UTC+4 — December evenings at Yas Marina start after a US morning coffee at home.
UAE is UTC+4 (no DST). Eastern Time is UTC−5 in December.
US passport holders typically receive a UAE visa on arrival for tourism stays of this length, but rules change. We do not sell visas on this site. Check ICA UAE or your airline before you fly; NextStep can discuss visa support on the main contact page.

FAQ for US travelers
Should I fly into AUH or DXB from the US?+
If you booked an Abu Dhabi hotel, AUH is the shorter landing. DXB has more US metal and is the natural airport for JBR packages. Private returns cover both — read our AUH vs DXB guide.
How many nights do I need from the USA?+
The package is 5 nights / 6 days (2–7 December). That covers Thursday practice through Sunday race without a same-day long-haul exit.
Can I pay in USD?+
Sell prices are in USD. 100% is due on confirmation. WhatsApp us the package and passenger count to lock the current rate.
